ABSTRACT. Faunistic data on the family Staphylinidae in the Vologodskaya Oblast (Northwest European Russia) are summarized for published data and the authors' collections carried out in 2001 and 2014–2022 were analysed. The fauna of rove beetles (comprising the subfamilies Pselaphinae, Scaphidiinae and Scydmaeninae) of the Vologodskaya Oblast includes 132 species from 12 subfamilies, namely: Omaliinae (6 species), Proteininae (1), Pselaphinae (8), Tachyporinae (12), Aleocharinae (26), Scaphidiinae (2), Oxytelinae (11), Oxyporinae (2), Steninae (14), Euaesthetinae (1), Scydmaeninae (1), Paederinae (11) and Staphylininae (38). One species, Atheta (Philhygra) hygrotopora (Kraatz, 1856), is recorded for the first time for the fauna of Russia. 52 species are recorded from the Vologodskaya Oblast for the first time. Five species, Stenus guttula P.W.J. Müller, 1821, Philonthus aerosus Kiesenwetter, 1851, Quedius cincticollis Kraatz, 1857, Q. humeralis Stephens, 1832 and Xantholinus distans Mulsant et Rey, 1853, were excluded from the checklist of the regional fauna. The records of species Philonthus salinus Kiesenwetter, 1844, Quedius nitipennis (Stephens, 1833) and Tasgius pedator (Gravenhorst, 1802) require confirmation by modern records; these species have also been temporarily removed from the general checklist of the Vologodskaya Oblast. This checklist is not exhaustive, as most of our research was carried out in wetland ecosystems of the Vologodskaya Oblast, but not for soil, myrmecophilic, mycetophilic and other elements of the staphylinid fauna.
KEY WORDS: rove beetles, fauna, new records, mire, north-west of European Russia.
